PEEK Thrust Rings

Motor vehicle designers requiring less weight, longer operating life, and easier assembly of components such as transmission thrust rings benefit from Minnesota Rubber and Plastics (MR&P) capabilities. These thrust rings act as rotating planetary carriers for helical shaped ring gears in transmission assemblies.

• Incur less heat and surface abrasion resulting in longer operating life than aluminum components
• High temperature resistance 400 to 450 F
• Carbon fiber providing high wear resistance
• PTFE for reduced friction
• 50% lighter than aluminum thrust rings
• Design eliminated the locating holes and added self-aligning features for easy and fast press-fit assembly
